Mr. President, Your Predecessor Actually Wire Tapped ALL Of Our Phones\u2026 What Are You Going To Do About It?<\/a><\/h3>\n

President Trump went on a\u00a0Tweet storm this morning<\/a>, presumably because at some point in the last 24 hours he learned that his predecessor President Obama reportedly \u201cwire tapped\u201d the phone lines in Trump Tower during the 2016 election campaign.<\/p>\n

In the process of tweeting,\u00a0the President actually confirmed what many of us already know \u2013 we are being actively monitored by a domestic police state<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We can fully sympathize with the President\u2019s outrage over being wiretapped, but it should be no surprise to our readers. Back in 2011 we noted, to accusations of being conspiracy theorists, that\u00a0everything Americans do is being monitored<\/a>, including real-time monitoring of our locations, conversations and even video.<\/p>\n

At the time, our claims may have seemed ridiculous to most Americans. However, it was soon revealed by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden that U.S. intelligence agencies had an incredible new program designed to do exactly what we originally described:\u00a0full-on monitoring<\/a>\u00a0of literally every digital interaction in the world. We\u2019re talking emails, phone calls and even the ability to remotely and secretly turn on the microphone and camera on your digital devices.<\/p>\n

The conspiracy theory once again turned out to be conspiracy fact.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

We realize this may be hard to digest for most, but\u00a0the technology is very real<\/a>\u00a0and very capable, as evidenced by the following video clip from the recently released\u00a0Snowden movie<\/a><\/strong>, which shows just how advanced the\u00a0intelligence community\u2019s capabilities\u00a0really are:<\/p>\n
